Edelbrock Supercharger Assembly Behind-the-Scenes

Building and Testing Speed Parts in Torrance, CA

Even if you’ve visited Edelbrock’s facilities in Torrance, California, you probably didn’t get to see half of what goes on. We got a quick behind-the-scenes tour of their supercharger assembly and caught some of their R&D processes along the way. We saw the raw castings and fuel rails going in one side and some of the completed parts ready for assembly at the other end.

Just like they always have been made, Edelbrock’s aluminum parts are cast in southern California. However, some things have changed with the times as we spotted some 3D printed prototypes in the flow testing area and some of their newest products coming together. Edelbrock has been making their own superchargers for about 10 years, and while some of the same casting and machining skill transfer over, there is a lot more to assemble. We watched as Eaton TVS rotors were pressed into their bearings and they were bolted in place with specialized tools. We sure wouldn’t mind having electric drivers pre-set to the proper torque value when assembling engines.
